FMRI is a big project with lots of big ideas on the table, so what actually has to happen to make them a reality? What's the current status of our marine research infrastructure, and how can we think about trade-offs when designing technology for the future?

Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with: 

• Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI
• Sophie Fielding, Zooplankton ecologist from the British Antarctic Survey

• Maaten Furlong, Associate Director of the National Marine Facilities at the National Oceanography Centre

Together, they dig into the practicalities of securing funding for the next few decades of ocean research, and discuss whether there really is a battle between ships and autonomous vehicles.
